Let's get your machine working

Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal (Black)
See all steps

Please select the appropriate option

Lights

To ensure the correct checks are carried out, we will need to determine if this is a pick up issue or if the machine is pulsating. We can check this by seeing what light shows on the machine.

Press and hold the trigger for 10 seconds.

Filter light

Blockage light

The machine is designed to pulsate. This is an audible feature that indicates a restriction of airflow and prevents damage to the motor. This is usually caused by blockage within the machine or a clogged filter.

When the machine is pulsating, it will switch on and off in quick succession. Make sure the machine is cool before running through the following checks.

Remove the tools

Please ensure the bin is empty before continuing with any checks.

Remove all tools and accessories from the machine e.g. Wand, Cleaner head, Crevice tool etc.

Press and hold the trigger for 10 seconds.

Does the light still appear?

Check the Wand

Check both ends of the Wand for blockages and remove as necessary.

Refit the Cleaner head onto the Wand and connect the Wand back onto the machine.

Clear the floor tool

On the side of the Direct drive cleaner head, locate the end cap. Using a coin, turn the end cap anticlockwise a quarter of the way to remove it.

Note: There should be a small padlock icon along with directional arrows to help you unlock the end cap.

Remove the Brush bar from the Cleaner head and clear away any hair or fibres.

Check the neck of the Cleaner head (where the Cleaner head connects to the Wand) for any blockages. Ensure there is no build up of dust or debris in the small crevice between where the Brush bar sits and the neck of the Cleaner head.

With the Brush bar clear from any debris, refit it back into the Cleaner head and securely fasten the end cap.

Place the Cleaner head onto the bin and test the machine.

Damp or musty smell

A damp or musty smell is caused when dust in the cyclone has come into contact with water.

It may not be a direct contact with water, for example when vacuuming pet hair that is slightly damp, this moisture will combine with the dust in the cyclone causing the smell.

Additionally the smell may occur if the filter goes back into the machine wet.

Only the filter can be washed, the bin can be cleaned with a damp cloth only, and both must be completely dry before being refitted to the machine.

Has any part of the machine been washed?

Were all the washed parts completely dry before the machine was used?

Damp or musty smell still present

Under normal use, any unpleasant smell can only be caused by something the machine has picked up. Please select pick up issues to carry out checks.

Replacement part required

If you are able to locate the smell to a part of the machine, replacing the part may help eliminate the smell. For this, please select Part broken.

Please select the appropriate option

Pick up issues

The blockage light usually appears when the machine is pulsating. The blockage light is located by the power pack.
